The following was e-mailed to me by a former democrat. She changed her idea of politics after her mom was involved in the local democratic party, then President Bill Clinton solidified her change of mind...

21 Steps to Becoming a Democrat

Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking (about it) and vote that way. If you want to be a GOOD Democrat, however, there are some prerequisites you must have first. Compare them below and see how you rate...

1.You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of Federal funding.

2.You have to believe that the same school system that can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow the best qualified to teach those same kids all about sex.

3.You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists.

4.You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5.You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by Americans driving SUVs'!

6.You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7.You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.

8.You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

9.You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do.

10.You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11.You have to believe the U.S. military, not evil, tyrannical regimes, start wars.

12.You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the constitution.

13.You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14.You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

15.You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16.You have to believe Hillary Clinton is all about "progress" and not power. She just wants to help us out of the archaic system of governing that we've been subjected to since our founding.

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18.You have to believe Republicans telling the truth belong in jail, but a cheat, liar and sex offender belongs in the White House and you would vote him back in there in a New York minute (if you could).

19.You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and beastiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

20.You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

21.You have to believe that the vociferous minorities who protest against prayer and saluting the flag in school have far more rights than the majority who believe in God and country and want these values to be instilled in our young children.

If you are locked in solidly to most of these beliefs - you're gonna be a big asset to John Kerry.

Oh my, what has happened to me!?! What started out as fantasy has become reality (except Amy ain't payin' for it, I AM!)

I needed some new work shoes. (Are you getting a picture already?) Shoe Carnival has buy one pair get the second pair of the same or lesser value at 1/2 off. Umhum, I not only went to one store last night, I went to a 2nd one today cuz they didn't have a pair in my size. I did at least replace my work shoes - the most expensive of the bunch. (I also found a pair I can wear in the winter with heavy socks cuz they were a little big. I couldn't let them go at $8!)

Unfortunately I am also having to accept that shoes are not made in America anymore, or at least they are very few.
